Dar Aziza Bent el-Bey

Algiers


Aziza may have been a bent (daughter) of the bey of Constantine, who built the sumptuous Dar Aziza for her. Its whitewashed facade hides one of the most gorgeous of Algiers’ grand houses. The tile work is especially impressive. Dar Aziza houses the office of the National Archaeology Agency and it's possible to visit the courtyard in normal working hours though photography is not allowed.
